Any camera designed from the ground up to be digital will be a much bettter digital camera than a film camera with a digital back. Although I can see why it could appeal to someone with a great deal of money already spent on a particular system. On the other hand, probably anyone in that position would much be better off moving to another brand to buy a DSLR. Just based on the complicated technology involved. Marnie aka Doe :-)
